In 2024, Meta unveiled Orion as an advanced augmented-reality prototype for internal and developer use.

In 2025, Meta shifted toward a consumer path by introducing Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses paired with a Neural Band (EMG wristband) a setup in which the band interprets subtle muscle activity to control the glasses’ interface.

My engagement in this project focused on the industrial design of the Neural Band hardware. I was responsible for crafting the aesthetic and tactile intent models bridging form, feel, and design vision with real engineering constraints. I worked hand-in-hand with mechanical and electrical engineering teams to turn concept into testable prototypes, managing tasks such as concept ideation, material/process development, CAD and tooling.

A major part of my role was design validation: conducting trial builds, designing experiments (DOE), iterating on prototypes, documenting results, and presenting findings to both the design and engineering leads.

One notable moment: some of the models I helped prototype were reviewed and tested by Meta’s leadership, including Mark Zuckerberg, underscoring both the project's strategic importance and the rigor of our approach.
